Akron redshirt senior QB Thomas Woodson has been reinstated from the two-game suspension levied against him earlier this month.

While Woodson is back in good standing with the Zips after he was benched due to a violation of team rules, HC Terry Bowden has not yet determined whether the redshirt senior will start against Toledo in the MAC Championship Game on Saturday. Said Bowden, "You can go in there only playing one or play more than one, so there’s all kinds of options. We’ll look at the practice week and go from there." The other option in play beyond Woodson, here is redshirt freshman Kato Nelson. We might not receive clarity on this situation until Saturday. Fri, Dec 1, 2017 03:07:00 PM

Woodson sat out last Tuesday's contest against Miami (OH) due to what was described as a violation of team rules. That suspension will now cost the redshirt senior a second consecutive game. Starting in his place versus the Bobcats on Tuesday will be redshirt freshman Kato Nelson. Tue, Nov 14, 2017 06:42:00 PM

Akron HC Terry Bowden said that Tommy Woodson (suspension) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against Ohio.

Woodson missed last week's loss with the suspension, and while the assumption has been that it was just a one-week deal, it's possible that the senior signal-caller won't go against the Bobcats, either. If he remains suspended, redshirt freshman quarterback Kato Nelson will start for the Zips on Tuesday. Mon, Nov 13, 2017 08:57:00 PM

Just prior to this Tuesday's loss to Miami (OH), Akron distributed a news release stating that Woodson was suspended for "tonight’s game." The implication was that Woodson would return next week, but Bowden isn't tipping his hand. "I would be remiss if I didn’t say Tommy Woodson was not played because of a violation of team rules, and I will not make an announcement on his future play until later on this week," Bowden said. When Akron athletics director Larry Williams was asked if Woodson would be suspended for multiple games, he said: "He’s still suspended." Fri, Nov 10, 2017 02:11:00 PM
